Pastor Man

Daria wanted a pristine man.  She wanted the life with a white picked fence, a good husband, a quality father, and someone that made her a better person.  So she decided to try dating holy men.  Perhaps the bad boys from the bar were not going to amount to a successful union like the dream marriage she wished for.  

With holy men, came rules.  They do not appreciate the occasional potty mouth, semi-questionable humor involving scandalous stories, drunk phone calls from the bar, or penetration before marriage.  Well, a "re-born virgin" for lack of a better word describes this Pastor Man she had met.  So, while they were talking and had a prosperous make out session, sex was not in the cards until they were married.  This would require a great deal of discipline and Daria was not sure she could do this.  But she saw a path to greatness with this Pastor Man:  purity, birds chirping in the sky, a father teaching his kids how to ride a bike on the sidewalk, her preparing a roast for dinner, and a lovely sunday at church.  Ahhhh......this all sounded so lovely, but things that are too perfect may actually truly be just that.

Saturday night approaches, Daria is having a great time with her girlfriends. She has cocktails with Josie, then Treena arrives, and down goes some wine.  The night wears on, and soon her bravery is heightened.  With each drink, she becomes more carefree and so do her text messages to Pastor Man.  By morning she awakens to find a disaster.  Pastor Man infuriated at her debauchery, and even less pleased at the frequent messages he was receiving at 1:30am, and he had to send Daria to less holy pastures as her purity did not match up to a Pastor Man's potential wife.  

Lesson of the Story:  Pastor Men may not make great dating partners unless you are a Pastor-kind of woman.

Know a good thing

Ladies, we all know when we see a great pair of shoes that we have to have. We all know that feeling when we try on that perfect pair of jeans. So, we know when we have found a good thing in the retail department most certainly. But do we know when we have found a good thing in love? Do we know how to react to it, how to nurture it and how to appreciate it? I would say that sometimes, we get ahead of ourselves. Perhaps we over-criticize? Perhaps we want to protect ourselves, and protect our heart and we do so in bizarre ways? Perhaps both females and males are guilty of the same thing. We react to things that make us vulnerable by creating boundaries to make us feel safer. We see something good and we are scared it may really be good, and perhaps we do something stupid to mess things up? say something stupid out of insecurity, search for comfort elsewhere, or simply block it out and avoid feeling anything.

The reality is that fear can paralyze us, can make us have contrived, too thought out words and actions. What we really should do is act with our heart, do what feels natural, say what is on our mind, not worry about what others think or say, stop worrying about protecting ourselves, avoid games, avoid lame distractions and be in the moment, enjoy life, enjoy love and be bold and go for the things we want.

Maricella & her 3 sets of flowers

A gorgeous, single girl named Maricella was searching for Mr. Right, and in the meantime was dating some Mr. "ok -for-now" kind of gents. Everyone loves getting flowers, and even better when arrive at the office, leaving the other females green with envy.

Maricella worked in a big glass building, so everyone could see if a flower delivery truck was pulling up and what was being carried inside. One day, Maricella was brought a beautiful bouquet of flowers from a delivery man, she was all smiles as she tore open the card to see a note from one of the boys she was dating. With a blissful sigh, she place them carefully on her desk. A few hours later, she sees a different boy she is dating pull up, so she scoots the flowers over a bit, and positions them strategically as the "office flowers". Boy #2 walks into the glass building carrying a bouquet of bright, beautiful flowers and takes a second glance at the bouquet, but chats with Maricella and leaves behind another set of flowers. This had created quite a bit of attention at the glass office, with everyone chatting about the girl who got 2 sets of flowers in one day from different boys. Then, to add insult to injury, boy #3 stops by with yet another set of fragrant, fresh flowers before the day is over. The office was in an uproar, and some jealous females had nothing but gossip to share about the girl juggling boys at the front desk! Some girls never get flowers sent to them at work, and what a shame that is. But Maricella knows 3s a charm! Good thing Ms. Maricella is off the market, so the office vultures can hope for an ounce of attention for themselves!

even rockin chicks get broken hearts

Even though, we are rockin chicks, we do have hearts and they can be trampled. Just when you think you are invincible, and cannot be stopped....a dagger comes out of left field and stabs you, bam! For some of us its easy to be confident, strong and fearless when it comes to work, facing steep mountains, whitewater rapids, presenting in front of a crowd, walking through a packed bar, wearing a short dress with 4 inch heels, or bicycling down a rocky slope. But, when it comes to matters of the heart, we realize how small, human, and vulnerable we may truly be. Alas, the need for rockin chicks we know to come and pick us up, dust us off, listen to us, feed us and help us get back on the horse again. Rockin Chicks are a force to be reckoned with, even when one member goes down with a broken heart.....

Mimi and Ball Player Boy

there was once a girlie named Mimi
she wore short dresses by Tibi
she liked sports games and the players, too
she loved cheering on the baseball crew
age didn't matter, she loved them all
brown, short, white, young or tall
she would meet them in the strangest of places
airplanes, hospitals, and running races
on a trip out to a tropical island resort
she met a young baseball buck of sorts
sure enough he called, and wanted a piece
predictability with the jocks will never cease
she got her trophy baseball boy
he had an entourage to bring him joy
who knows if there will be a part two?
it may depend on need, hunger and balls of blue?
What really went down on the isle of fun?
no one will know, but Mimi won!

boys and cars

Why is it that boys think cars make them more attractive? Do they view it as an accessory like we view a supple leather handbag or a pair of platform pumps? Or is it merely an extension of their male-hood, something to make them harder, tougher, stronger, faster? hmmmm....

What they really ought to think about are the many things that girls really care about: shoes, ice cream, massages, romance, flowers, champagne, and random gestures of kindness are always nice, too.
